i just installed a host security checker, tiger (TARA?) which is more or less along the lines of what i remember from dan farmer's COPS (a lng time ago!) it had a number of complaints about accounts which were disabled but had valid shells. like this one: www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/v

netscape bookmark.html

i keep a global bookmark.html in /usr/local/share/users/bookmark.html, and make symbolic links from within $HOME/.netscape, so all incarnations of me can use the same bookmark file. the trouble is, when i edit the bookmarks, say as user p, the symbolic link is erased and /home/p/.netscape/bookmark

Re: 3dfx.o

dave, this isn't the reply you wanted, but fwiw, i can't get the 3dfx driver to work for the life of me. i've been at it for a couple of days now. i emailed the packager, steve hasam(sp?) twice, and he hasn't replied at all. not even a "RTFM". (i'll leave my opinion of his maintainer's status u

Re: XFree 4.0.1

ethan, it's been my experience that some tarballs don't respect where you want to locate them in the sense that they spew binaries, links and libraries wherever they please. i've seen many games install themselves in /usr/local, like i told them to, and then just push their libraries wherever they

attention: voodoo3 owners

dear fellow voodoo3 owners, the debian driver for your card will NOT work with 2.4 kernels. not even if you compile it from the source code. the file operations table is an array of pointers to functions which implement file operations which would be useful to a device, like reading and writing.

how to load modules at boot time

dear all, i'd like to load two modules -- 3dfx.o and tulip.o (voodoo3 and ethernet cards) at boot time rather than modprobing them every time the system boots. i could do that by adding them to a local startup script, and that's the way i've done it for a long time. but if i wanted to be more so

where does debian hide its iso images?

i've just spent over 5 minutes searching for ISO images on the debian website. this is a long time for web browsing! i'd like to burn the r1 (or upcoming r2) version of debian 2.2's ISO. the problem is, the ftp sites have snapshots of the disks, but i can't find any sites that hold ISO images of

Re: sound delays

i just read linuxtoday.com, and there was an article there in audio latency and how to fix it. you may want to start there. i'd give you the details, but i haven't read the article yet. pete On Wed, 22 Nov 2000, Jaye Inabnit ke6sls wrote: > > Hello, > > I Wonder if someone can help me w
